Most recently seen on Broadway in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, James Harkness is a veteran of not only the stage (Aida, The Color Purple, Chicago), but also a best director nominee, an award‑winning choreographer, and a songwriter. His debut show, Fragments of Me, performed at the Metropolitan Room in New York, is available on YouTube. Harkness is proud and humbled to stand with this company to tell this story of the legendary group that is a firm part of American culture. Thanks to my manager Dave Brenner and love to my family.
